Emigration archives - ACCESS

Hi Max,
Maybe the Security Settings on your internet access are set at "High".
Sometimes after I've downloaded the latest Microsoft update I find I can't access favourite websites.

Go to: Control Panel and click on the Internet Options logo.
On the top tabs choose "Security" and click.

That page is divided into three. Somewhere on that page, possibly about the middle is a panel entitled "Security Level For This Zone'
and within the panel is a slider which you can move up & down with your mouse - mine is pointed to 'Medium' and I can access most websites. I've discovered a few government sites don't have current Microsoft certification which then denies me access. You can get round this by instructing your computer to give you access.

On the same 'Security' page there is a row of icons - look for the "Trusted Sites" - mine is green with a white tick. Click on this sign.
Below those icons is the Green Internet Globe icon and alongside is the wording "Internet - these are the websites not on ...." This action should make available a button marked "Sites" - click on the button.
This action will open another page where you type in and enter the http://www… of the site you would like to access. When you've finished don't forget to click on the "Apply" button.

Dear Rena,

I want to explain about Max. He is quite old and so much wants to trace
his ancestor. I have covered the same territory several times, but he
forgets. I have worked with him off the list, but he inevitably returns to
the same questions. He knows Julius Burgdorf came Hildesheim from a ship
list. I have done everything I can think of to help him. It's sad, but
what more can we do? I've searched for Julius so many times in so many
places. I've suggested he look at the Hildesheim records on the LDS
site--he's gone to the LDS center, but he's probably unable to gain anything
there. There are plenty of Hildesheim films, but he probably can't go
through that process. It is sad.

To the list,

      I have just made a major mistake by sending this letter to the entire
list when I meant it to go to Rena McCarthy. I thought I had sent it to her
personal email, but I forgot to change the address on the reply email. I was
in a hurry and I got careless.

     I apologize to Max. I would like to ask everyone on the list to help
find Julius Burgdorf, Max's ancestor! He is from Hildesheim and came to New
Orleans, but we can't get any more information than that.

Thank you,
Barbara
